What Happened When Russell Came In The Game,play By Play

Frye had managed the game clock,completing passes to the receivers,and moving the ball.He had the offense moving much of the game until he got hit by Davis in the chest and going down hard with his head hitting the turf.

I was preying he was ok with the trainers on the field.The trainers took there sweet time hoping Frye was better than he looked,not the case.

I thought to myself,No,not again,not another replay of the Washington game!

Here comes JaMarcus Russell on to the field.I was honestly hoping Frye will be back in and JR could hand off for at least 1 play.Wishful thinking.
